Speaker 1: US Department of Health and Human Services said in early

45
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:20,120

46
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:24,239

65
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:23,080

66
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 1: Advisory goes into effect at ten o'clock tonight, and we

67
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 1: might get a flurry or two this evening. That's not

68
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:30,200
Speaker 1: the big deal. The big deal is the temperatures. What

69
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:32,560
Speaker 1: are going to fall to about five degrees or so

70
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 1: in Boston, below zero in many of the suburbs and

71
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:39,040
Speaker 1: under partly cloudy skies. The real fields will fall to

72
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 1: about twenty below zero, mostly sunny, breezy tomorrow. Forget the

73
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:45,680
Speaker 1: sun though it's not going to be very effective at

74
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 1: doing anything except shining sixteen for the high temperature, but

75
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:51,800
Speaker 1: the real fields tomorrow, even during the day, it could

76
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 1: be five to fifteen below zero. A frigid night Tomorrow

77
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 1: night with temperatures single digits and slightly below zero in

78
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:01,720
Speaker 1: the coldest spots, and again twenty low or colder the

80
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:08,760

81
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 1: a winter storm warning that goes into effect at seven

82
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 1: o'clock Sunday morning, and snow is going to start to

83
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:17,160
Speaker 1: fall around here likely midday ish, give or take, and

84
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:21,240
Speaker 1: pile up pretty rapidly, and the driving conditions will deteriorate

85
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:24,320
Speaker 1: pretty rapidly as well through Sunday into Sunday night, into

86
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:27,799
Speaker 1: Monday morning, into Monday afternoon, and even into Monday evening.

87
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:30,640
Speaker 1: Perhaps we'll be dealing with some of this snow fall

88
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 1: before we break out some sunshine on Tuesday. We'll probably

89
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:37,400
Speaker 1: get somewhere between a foot and a foot and a

90
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 1: half of snow in most spots. Some areas could see

91
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:42,320
Speaker 1: more than that, though, of course, it is dependent on

92
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:44,720
Speaker 1: the exact track of the storm and on how much

93
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:49,880
Speaker 1: fluffiness the snow has when it's falling and landing and

94
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 1: piling up. Thirty four Right now in Boston, high school

Speaker 1: for his team, even if he's caught the attention of

97
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:02,760
Speaker 1: some bullies on the internet. WBC's Matt Shearer has the story.

98
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 6: If you've ever been to a high school sporting event

99
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:09,599
Speaker 6: in Norton before, you've definitely heard his voice. Answer that

100
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:12,760
Speaker 6: is Peter J. Wiggins, Norton Lancers super fan.

101
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:16,200
Speaker 2: I'm a lifelong Norton night I'm a support of everthing

102
00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:17,040
Speaker 2: Norton has to offer.

103
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:19,360
Speaker 6: It really doesn't take long to see that Peter's love

104
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:21,360
Speaker 6: for the town of Norton is reciprocal.

105
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:22,560
Speaker 4: I love him.

106
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:23,520
Speaker 1: He's the North Legend.

107
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:25,040
Speaker 4: I feel like he's just always been around.

108
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:27,000
Speaker 6: He's just an overall good guy, which is important to

109
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:29,920
Speaker 6: recognize because recently some Internet trolls from out of town

110
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 6: were giving him a hard time. So he deleted his Instagram.

111
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:36,000
Speaker 2: Account because somebody was leaving nasty comments on Instagrams.

112
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:38,360
Speaker 7: So gonna ignore the boys and be myself.

113
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:41,000
Speaker 2: I'm just like the inner judge buddies skill going.

114
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:44,320
Speaker 6: The Internet may be a cool place, but luckily Norton isn't.

115
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:47,919
Speaker 6: And when Peter's in the bleachers, he has all the

116
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:53,359
Speaker 6: love he needs. Love you, Matt Sheer, WBZ, Boston's news radio.
